Not trying to trash this plugin, but I'm personally fatigued with the amount of reverbs I have, let alone how many are available on the market.

Does this one do something special that makes it worth adding to the toolbox? Seems like the theme of it is just the diffusion models.

I’m not hearing anything special from the sound demos on the product page.

I wouldn’t have a need for this but I’m not sure if this is worthwhile even if I didn’t have other choices.

The demo content all sounded super bright and airy. For lush, there’s lots of choices, including Sonsig Rev A which is on sale, then of course the Valhalla options which must be mentioned considering the price match, and that includes the free Supermassive.

We are truly spoiled with many great reverbs and a some great price points.

It seems the reverb is the same as the reverb from eFx Ambient, but with more parameters.
For me it's only 19 bucks (I own Fx Collection 6).
I'm not interested because I have already much too much reverbs, but it sounds nice and has some features of its own.
I like the transient parameters for exemple...

beauty...19 euro...no brainer (ymmv)

Honestly - nothing special and unique for me in this reverb...

Weird plugin. Seems half baked. The displayed decay times bear no relation to the actual decay time. If I set it to 10 seconds the decay is done in about 5 seconds, and if I set it to 50 seconds it's over in about 8 seconds. I assume it's a bug, which I've reported. Definitely not a long enough reverb tail for serious ambient. (Edit: Arturia support agree that something is wrong and are looking into it).

The lack of control for things like modulation or the baked-in sets of effects in the macro modes is a bummer.

The core sound is nice, but for me it feels unfinished and not one of Arturia's finest.

It seems to me this is a algo-testing plugin. Small, cheap. Not fully fledged. They had the same reverb (in most modern updated plugins) for quite some years now..my guess is they will add some extra algo's in future updates. Could be completely wrong though and this is just a cash grab..who knows.. (or a bit of both ;) )

I feel like I don't need this. Valhalla's Futureverb is the ultimate creative reverb.
